Here's How Salman Khan Came Up With The Name 'Being Human'

"I was passing by Linking Road (Mumbai) when I saw..."

Superstar Salman Khan has been selling t-shirts with 'Being Human' doodled on it for past ten years now. He launched the Being Human Foundation, a non-profit charitable trust for better healthcare and primary education facilities in 2007, and the 'Being Human' clothing line two years later.

But have you ever wondered where did he get the idea to name his trust 'Being Human' from? When did he decide to expand his label by affixing it with a clothing line?

At a recent event in Mumbai, TiE Global Summit 2018, Salman Khan spoke a lot about his brand, Being Human, and also shared how he came up with the name.

Have a look:

Where did Being Human come from?

It all dates back to a day when Salman Khan was drinking and a spotted a friend on the other side of the room with the text 'Human Being'. However, since he was drunk, to him it appeared as 'Being Human'.

Salman Khan then called his sister to inform her about the name

"We were looking for a name for the charitable trust, and I called my sister and said that I got the name. She asked 'what?' and I said Being Human. And the first time my sister thought it was a great idea. So she jumped at this, and we registered the name," Salman Khan said.

"You will lose friends if you ask them for money. You wanna do a good deed, do it on your own."

"Being Human should live on and on and on and on," Salman Khan said.

Whatever money comes from Being Human clothing brand, jewellery, e-cycles and soon to be launched gym equipment is used to pay taxes. And the profit that comes into Salman and others' shares, is used in the charitable trust.

"The worst thing that could happen is that Being Human dies a natural death before Salman Khan," he ended.
